Lake Terrell

Known for its warmwater fishes, this sprawling shallow lake in recent years has taken on an additional claim to fame. It's a haunt for whopper trout, this spring receiving some 523 of the 1 1/2-pound triploid rainbows. A dock near the ramp offers the boat-less a chance, but given its lack of depth, trolling or prospecting for fish from a floating platform is your best bet.

Season: year-round.

Angler amenities: One fishing pier is located north of the headquarters area. The largemouth bass in this lake are good sized, a few approaching trophy size if they are not there already. The triploid plant is sometimes split between April and May.

Surface area: 438 acres.
